Emotionally Charged.

I haven't been writing lately.

I've been keeping busy.

It's strange, because I really like to write, but I seem to do it most when either, something is wrong, or I'm sad/angry/unhappy. -- I mean that makes sense, because writing makes me feel better. But even though it's something I enjoy, I don't seem to have time for it when I'm happy.

I've been happy lately. Busy with my life. Getting really involves in work, spending time with my friends, trying new things, being spontaneous, meeting new people... And, I've just been really happy. Like I haven't been noticing life go by because I've just been living it. It's amazing.

I decided to sit down and write today for 2 reasons:

1. I haven't done it in a while and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Even though I've been distracted by life, I still at least think about writing.

2. I had an emotionally charged morning. And that's really why, after all the time I've spent thinking about writing, I'm actually sitting down to do it.

Stress is hard for me to deal with. I woke up this morning to a boat load of stress. Mainly work related. When I'm stressed, it helps for me to take a step back and focus on something that's not related to it for a while before I face whats causing the stress. Hence the blog post.

But that's not all. On top of all the stress I was served for breakfast, I got sucked into some personal and emotional stress too. It kind of threw me over the edge and sent me into a tizzy. So, I had a good cry and just let it all out. Now, I'm taking a deep breath, I'm writing about it (vaguely) and then, I will get on with my day.

I'm getting better at my stress management. It helps to have a good support system, a happy life with much to appreciate, and a sound mind. I try to put things into perspective so that I spend less time stressing about whatever it is, and more time working toward solutions. Here's to continually moving forward.

Today I'm thankful for perspective. Perspective will help me find a good vantage point to work from :)
